Abstract
We investigate the behavior of Kaczmarz's method with relaxation for inconsistent systems. We show that when the relaxation parameter goes to zero, the limits of the cyclic subsequences generated by the method approach a weighted least squares solution of the system. This point minimizes the sum of the squares of the Euclidean distances to the hyperplanes of the system. If the starting point is chosen properly, then the limits approach the minimum norm weighted least squares solution. The proof is given for a block-Kaczmarz method.
